Simply get an international money order from a bank, or a postal money
order.
The ICPS now accepts multi-year subscription, so please consider
renewing for 2 or 3 years at once. That will reduce your hassle by a
factor of 2 or 3x and will also help reduce the number of envelopes and
checks that I have to handle each year. I would encourage all members
to consider doing this. Another advantage is that if subscription rates
need to be raised, multi-year memberships will be honored and
grandfathered in at the original rate.
If you live next to a CP friend, or are a member of a club, then make
arrangements to send a single money order for the entire club. Simply
send a money order along with the bundle of membership forms.
Alternatively, you can do some seed/plant trades with a U.S. friend and
have them pay your membership for you.
Barry is looking into credit cards and WEB payment, but such service
is not yet available. We'll announce it widely as soon as it is in place.
